The 20th Century Fox release takes place in a future society where, thanks to a scientific breakthrough, no one has to age. To keep population in check, people stay alive as long as they can pay their way.

The story follows a rebel from the ghetto (Timberlake) who is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, and goes on the run with a beautiful hostage (Seyfried).

Kartheiser plays the father of Seyfried’s character, who is forced to choose between the daughter he loves and the oppressive time system that has made him rich.
